Webinar 16 April 2024
On April 16, ZonMw organized a webinar about the ME/CFS research program. We look back on a successful meeting, attended digitally by more than 370 people. The webinar can now be viewed again through our website. The webinar with English subtitles will be made available on the website at a later date.
The audience asked many questions during the seminar; some of this was answered during the seminar. An overview of common questions has been made with answers to the questions that were not discussed during the seminar. This overview can be read again on the website.
Interviews about living with ME/CFS
During the ME/CFS webinar on April 16, stories from experienced experts played an important role. The webinar opened with a montage of 4 interviews from experienced experts talking about what it’s like to live with ME/CFS. These interviews are – as 4 separate stories – available on our website. The videos will be used during the research programme, for example, to inform researchers and healthcare professionals about what it is like to live with ME/CFS.

Tesla, quarter in trouble: profits at their lowest since 2021, revenues falling more than in the pandemic.

Earnings and revenue in the first three months of 2024 fell by 55% and 9%, respectively. But Elon Musk promises acceleration on new models and the stock skyrockets
4′ reading
Tesla is suffering from a difficult quarter: the revenues of the American electric and hi-tech car leader have decreased for the first time since 2020 and even more so than in the months marked by the pandemic paralysis, indeed they have set a negative record since 2012. Profits for their part fell to the lowest levels since 2021. The declines were respectively 9% in turnover and 55% in profits, disappointing analysts’ expectations and keeping questions open about the group’s strategy.
Musk seeks redemption
Chief executive Elon Musk, in the results conference with analysts, responded to the challenge with a surprise. He promised news arriving earlier than expected so far: he stated that the production of new models will start “at the beginning of 2025 if not at the end of this year”. The promise corrected previous indications that similar developments would not take place before the second half of next year. Musk then boasted about the investments in artificial intelligence now being pursued by the company after delays.
Advancements in Optogenetics Bring Hope for Restoring Sight in People with Retinitis Pigmentosa
As a child, Max Hodak learned to develop film in a darkroom with his late grandfather who was almost blind. Hodak’s grandfather had retinitis pigmentosa, a congenital disease that affects one out of every 5,000 people — more than 2 million worldwide. Most people with the condition are born with their sight intact. Over time they lose peripheral vision first, then central vision, and finally, their sight, sometimes as early as middle age.
“He clearly had this career and was a photographer, and I saw that,” Hodak said of his grandfather, who became an aerospace engineer and briefly worked on heat shields for spacecraft. “But most of my memories as a kid was that he was pretty profoundly blind.”
Possible solutions are within reach. Science Eye is a startup company based in Alameda, Calif., developing a visual prosthesis called the Science Eye which could restore vision in people with retinitis pigmentosa. The Science Eye works by using optogenetics to stimulate ganglion cells in the retina through wireless communication and deliver digital information to the brain.
All companies working on optogenetics-based treatments rely on gene therapy called optogenetics where opsins are injected into the eye to boost light sensitivity in cells of the retina.
Parsley: The Superfood for Liver Health and Cancer Prevention
The liver is an important organ and plays a role in the processes of digestion and fat absorption, as well as its role in processing blood coming from the stomach and intestines, which includes breaking down certain substances and keeping them at appropriate levels, in addition to creating new nutrients that the body needs.
As is the case with the rest of the members of the body, the liver needs special attention and care to ensure that it is healthy and able to perform its functions effectively. The first of these methods of care comes from choosing foods that are beneficial and suitable for liver health, including parsley.
Parsley has great health benefits, as well as being an important ingredient for preparing tasty dishes It is rich in plant compounds that reduce the risk of many diseases such as cancer. Several studies have shown that parsley is very effective in reducing the ability of cancer cells to migrate and spread in the body due to the content of compounds that prevent cancer such as nitric oxide.
Parsley helps to protect the liver and improve its health in several ways, which we will review together in today’s topic antioxidant enzymes in the blood and reduce tissue damage due to the radicals -free and diseases in the body.

Study Finds COVID-19 Recovery Increases Severity and Mortality Risk in Adult Asthma Patients
[의학신문·일간보사=김현기 기자] It was found that among adult asthma patients, after recovery from COVID-19, the likelihood of existing asthma disease worsening to a severe level increased by more than 50%, and the likelihood of death increased by more than 70%.
In particular, in the case of patients recovering from severe COVID-19, the probability of worsening into severe asthma is more than 5 times higher than that of mild asthma, and the probability of death is more than 7 times higher.

The research team of Professors Sang-heon Kim, Hyun Lee and Bo-geun Kim from the Department of Respiratory Allergy at Hanyang University Hospital studied the risk of adult asthma patients who recovered from COVID-19 infection worsening into severe asthma or they die.
Specifically, the research team used big data from the National Health Insurance Corporation to match 10,739 adult asthma patients aged 20 and older who recovered from COVID-19 from October to December 2020 with a control group of non-COVID-19 infected patients 1:1.
As a result, it was confirmed that among adult asthma patients, the number of patients who worsened to severe asthma after recovering from COVID-19 was 187.3 cases per 10,000 people,
